(207)                 Changes in Format for Publishing 
                          Trademarks for Opposition 

   Because of the adoption of the International classification of goods
and services by the United States as of September 1, 1973 (see
Official Gazette of June 26, 1973, 911 O.G. TM 210), it is necessary
to change the arrangement in the Official Gazette of the marks
published for opposition. 
   Beginning with the issue of May 7, 1974, the section of the Official
Gazette entitled "Marks Published for Opposition" will be divided
into four sections instead of the present two sections. (For the
preceding change from one to two sections, see Official Gazette of
October 13, 1964, 807 O.G. TM 51.) Sections 1 and 2 will be according
to international classification and will contain marks in
applications filed on or after September 1, 1973, and Sections 3 and
4 will be according to prior United States classification and will
contain marks in applications filed on or before August 31, 1973. 
   In Section 1, all marks presented in combined applications filed on
or after September 1, 1973 for registration in more than one
international class will be published with only one reproduction of
each mark. The reproduction of the mark will be followed by the
international class numbers, and under each class will appear the
goods or services in connection with which the mark is used. If the
date of first use applies to all classes, it will appear following
the last class; otherwise, the dates of use will appear after each
class. 
   In Section 2, all marks presented in applications filed on or after
September 1, 1973 for registration in a single class will be
published in international class order. 
   In Section 3, all marks presented in combined applications filed on
or before August 31, 1973 for registration in more than one prior
United States class will be published with only one reproduction of
each mark. The reproduction of the mark will be followed by the prior
United States class numbers and titles, and under each class will
appear the goods or services in connection with which the mark is
used. If the date of first use applies to all classes, it will appear
following the last class; otherwise, the dates of use will appear
after each class. 
   In section 4, all marks presented in applications filed on or before
August 31, 1973 for registration in a single class will be published
in the prior United States class order. 
   The following explanation will appear under the heading "Marks
Published for Opposition": 

   The following marks are published in compliance with section 12(a) of
   the Trademark Act of 1946. Applications for the registration of marks
   in more than one class have been filed as provided in section 30 of
   said act as amended by Public Law 772, 87th Congress, approved Oct.
   9, 1962, 76 Stat. 769. Opposition under Section 13 may be filed
   within thirty days of the date of this publication. See Rules 2.101
   to 2.105. 
      A separate fee of twenty-five dollars for opposing each mark in each
   class must accompany the opposi-tion. 

   Sections 1 through 4 will appear immediately after the above
explanation, the sections being designated as follows: 

Section 1. International classification-Application in more than one
   class 
Section 2. International classification-Application in one class 
Section 3. Prior United States classification-Application in more
   than one class 
Section 4. Prior United States classification-Application in one
   class 
The same procedure of dividing into four sections will be followed in
   the notice of the issuance of registrations on the Supplemental
   Register.
